Recover deleted Mobile Me Gallery

Is there any way to recover a deleted Mobile Me Gallery? I selected a photo, pressed Delete and lost the entire gallery. There is no Undo for this action and yesterday's Time Machine just opens today's library.

Did you try to recover yesterday's entire iPhoto Library with Time Machine? If not do so, saving both the current and the recovered versions and see if that will get it back for you.
For recovery from similar incidents check out the tip at the end of my signature below. You can run the backup application like you would use the Save command in those applications that have it. As I point out iPhoto does not have to be closed to run it, only idle.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Deleting pics in mobile me gallery deletes image in project

    I dont believe it, i just came across ANOTHER aperture 3 bug:
    i had some images imported in my importing project
    i made a mobile me gallery out of it.
    in the library on the left, i selected the mobile me gallery to delete some pictures from this gallery because i did not want them published.
    i click on the PROJECT (where all files should be stored regardless what i deleted from the mobile me gallery) to find that those images i deleted from the gallery are in the bin, they are not in the project anymore!
    another fatal bug......

    Please Control-click (or right-click) on any image in a MobileMe Gallery to see the options that are available, which include Delete Version and Remove from Album. If you choose Delete Version you should see the warning without having to actually proceed to delete anything. The options are the same as with any album.
    I never use the Delete key for any of this, but I will test as time allows -- apparently, based upon your experience, it is the same as Delete Version, but as to lack of warning, I will have to test. I would never assume the Delete key is the same as Remove from Album, which is the needed command.

  • "Mobile me" gallery sorting

    Hey guys,
    Two problems with Aperture 3 :
    1) Impossible to sort "mobile me" gallery by name : it always comes back in weird orders...
    2) Aperture 3 keeps freezing when I try to close it, forcing me to "force quit" it. Then, other problem emerged, like my iphone wouldn't get all the pictures of my librairies when syncronizing. I tried to "repair" it by cmd+option, and then, it made me a separate file "recovered project" with like 200 pictures in it — which I still have in my initial file, but as "copies" : if I delete the "recovered project", those will miss the "original" file...
    Any idea of a solution, or should I just export my 6 000 pics library to reimport it with a clean install — with the "store file in their current location" option checked ?
    thanks !
    bill

    I am having similar problems, also in reordering multiple galleries in iPhoto.
    try leaving feedback for Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html to make them aware of the issues. Maybe they will fix this in a future update. it did work in iPhoto '08 after all.

  • How do i recover deleted user

    I have accidentally deleted my original user while trying to install a new user. I found the previous user file and dragged all the contents into a new user folder but that did not work. I took the imac to the Apple Store and the "genius" at the genius bar deleted that user before I could stop him. Now the files I found no longer exist, even in the disk image for the original user. None of my original settings work any more. I think the original user files must exist somewhere but it is not in the usual places.
    More detail:
    I was trying to set up a second user on the imac (2010) and migrate the user's info from a Powerbook G4 into the new user. The Apple support page said that I had to restart the powerbook in Target Mode to do the migrate. I renamed the user on the Powerbook to match the user on the iMac, restarted in Target mode and did the migrate. The migrate overwrote the original user info on the iMac, wiping out and settings, email and contacts. Not only that, the Target mode apparently did away with any user info I was trying to migrate, so what I ended up with on both computers is basically the factory setting as if there were no users. I attempted to recover the previous user as described above, but the folders had red Xes in them and did not reset the user info. But the info was there in the folders under the original user name. Went to the "Genius" bar where they got the laptop to at least recover the emails, etc. The next thing he did was to go to Accounts and delete the previous (original) user. Then he went searching for the previous user, but there was nothing in the folders because I had dragged, not copied them into the user he deleted. He asked if I had backups and I thought I did on an external hard drive at home. Got home and the time machine file on the hard drive was corrupt and would not back up. The only CD backup I have is two years old, so it doesn't have any iphone info.
    So now I have two computers that sort of work but doesn't recognize any of the users for setup and email purposes. I'm afraid to synch my iphone because it warns me that it doesn't recognize the user and will replace info on the iphone. And all of my emails for the last few years are gone.
    I thought I was getting backed up by the Backup application but it doesn't work. The laptop was set to backup to Mobile Me which doesn't work any more and I can't recover anything for it from icloud. The imac was supposed to be backed up to icloud but backup doesn't recognize any files there. I really don't know where to go from here except back to the "geniuses" at the genius bar and ask for an advanced tech support person.
    Any suggestions?

    Whew, if those files were secure deleted, they're cgone.
    Your only slim hope is to quit using it completely to preent deleted file spaces being overwritten.
    It may be possible to recover some erased ones, but you must quit using the Computer immediately, because the OS will think it can write to those freed blocks on the disk.

  • Mobile me gallery vs Aperture 3 -- incompatible?

    My Mobile Me gallery worked perfectly in Aperture 2. I upgraded to Aperture 3 and about 20% of my gallery images got deleted and the remaining ones appeared in a random order. I am rebuilding the galleries now, but the process is VERY annoying (not to mention the time and effort needed to select from ten thousand images). The order of the images keep changing; when I try to rearrange then, some stay in their desired positions while others jump around. Although my update preference is set to "manual", Aperture keeps updating every 30 seconds or so, slowing down work significantly. My final grudge is that some of the images that appear in the published gallery are not the same as the ones I chose to create the gallery. It appears that Aperture 3 is full of bugs ... Any advice?

    Aperture does not have bugs any more, at least that is what some folk would have you believe.
    If you have just installed Ap3. It needs quite a long time to do all that it has to, to finish fully, and depending mostly on the library size, it could take a couple of days to several to finish. It is best left to get on with it. If this is not the problem then i have no other ideas. Allan

  • Unwanted Versions in my Mobile Me Gallery

    When I make a new version of a master, the new version automatically shows up in my Mobile Me Gallery that contains the master. It appears that only by deleting the version can I avoid this. But of course sometimes I want the version in my Project, I just don't want it in my Mobile Me Gallery. I appreciate any insight into this. Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Make sure you aren't including the @me.com or the @mac.com when entering your ID, also make sure your password doesn't have spaces or unusual characters.
    Also make sure you have at least one public photo album in your gallery.

  • Recovering an Entire Folder from Recover Deleted Items

    Question:
    If an entire folder is deleted , placed in Deleted Items, then Deleted Items is emptied ... can the entire Folder be recovered to Deleted Items from
    Recover Deleted Items function?
    I seem to recall that this was once possible - but when I test with Outlook 2013 with my Exchange Server 2013 - only the mail items come back to Deleted Items - the original folder is not restored.

    The Recoverable Items folder resides in the non-IPM subtree of each mailbox. The non-IPM subtree is a storage area within the mailbox that contains operational data about the mailbox. This subtree isn't visible to users using Outlook, Microsoft Office Outlook
    Web App, or other email clients.
    I would refer you on this informative technet gallery that will help you to understand this concern in depth and recover the entire folder into previous used version back :https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee364755%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx

  • How can I recover deleted photos from my camera roll?

    How can I recover deleted photos from my camera roll and my photo stream?
    Please, help me!

    I finally got up with a solution.
    All you need is the photo file from your last backup.
    You can extract this file from your backup by using iBackupbot for itunes. Get this via:
    http://www.icopybot.com/itunes-backup-manager.htm
    Once you get this file you extract the photos in form of original database file. The screenshots on the website will help you to know how to extract the files.
    Okay so now when you've got the photo file you simply need to SSH into your phone to /private/var/mobile/Library/photo were you'll already see a photo file.
    Replace the old photo file that you've extracted from the backup by the one that already exist in.
    Don't forget to keep an extra copy of the new photo file if in case you go wrong somewhere.
    It worked for me and I hope it works for you too.
    Thanks mende1, you were indirectly helpful.

  • Recover deleted images from N73

    Hi all
    Can any one guide me on how to restore deleted images from N73 phone memory. I just lost and do not hnow how they got deleted
    Please help
    many thanx in advance

    If it's deleted from your PHONE memory, then you've pretty much lost it - without taking it to a specialist data recovery firm (who will then dismantle it and charge you money, after which time your warranty will probably also be void) there's no way to recover deleted data on your mobile.
    If it was on your memory card then you might have some hope provided you haven't written over the space where the pictures were located.

  • Can not view mobile me gallery videos on IPHONE

    Can any body tell me why i can not view my mobile me gallery videos on my Iphone? When i bring up my gallery on my phone it only shows some of my posted video not all of them and the time has 0:00. If you try and play it you get an error message.

    When you send an email announcement for others to view a MM gallery, you can Bcc yourself with the message - to your MM address.
    If you store all sent messages on the server, you can access the sent message in your MM account's Sent mailbox. This will provide you the link to your MM gallery, which you can bookmark for later use or create a web clip which will be placed on your iPhone's Home screen for faster access.

  • Is there any way I can recover deleted pictures from Camera Roll and iCloud? Please please help me. All of my precious pictures are gone that I can never EVER get back. I dont have any iCloud or Camera Roll backup; and my PC can't download more software.

    Hi everyone! I'm in need of extreme help. You see, today, two months ago I went out of the country from the United States of America. I took about 1500 pictures ONLY on my iPod touch. When I returned to the United States to my home, I accidentally deleted a little more than 100 pictures. Then, thinking I could get ALL of the pictures back at once, I restored my iPod touch from an iCloud backup I had a couple of days before. Instead of getting all of my pics back, they all got erased. The pictures that I did delete were deleted from Camera Roll AND Photo Stream (iCloud). Then, I was only able to get about 500 pictures back from iCloud. So about 1000 are still gone. When i did the restore, I thought all my pictures would be there, but they weren't and I couldn't possibly figure out why; because a restore from iTunes or iCloud is supposed to restore your device to the settings of the time you backed up your device. All of my other settings were just the way they were supposed tone for the time being, all except my pictures, which contained not one picture in any folder. So EVERYTHING from Cameta Roll was gone, and only about 500 pictures survived. I kept retoring and restoring, hoping they would come back but unfortunately they didn't. Then one time a restored again, I saw all of them back!! But then, within a blink of an eye, they disappeared as soon as I tapped on one picture. Then, I knew they were still in reach, but I just had to find them. Where could those 1000 pictures go? I looked up how to recover deleted photos, but I have to install a software. My computer CANNOT possibly take anymore software on it, my PC is very sensitive and I cannot delete anything off of it. Please please help me. What can I do to get my pictures back? They are memories that I can never EVER EVER get back. Thank you so much.

    Please please help me, if you know how.

    How do I delete a MobileMe gallery? I open iPhoto where I created the album, right-clicked on the album to delete. Then I proceeded to watch an indicator dot with and arrow spin, and spin and spin. Finally the spinning stopped, but the album is still listed. Help! How do I remove these? This is also happening for Facebook albums I want to delete as well. Any thoughts?

    under the MobileMe section in the source pane on the left drag the gallery to the iPhoto trash
    Same for facebook
    If this is not working launch iPhoto while depressing the option(alt) and command (apple) keys and rebuild the library from the last automatic database backup

  • Recover Deleted Offline File in Window's 7

    Documents that were suppose to sync with the server had not synced in months. The filess I am sure were being saved to the offline file cache. The offline file cache was deleted by using microsoft hotfix 50561 (kb230738), reinitalizing the cache and correcting
    the save path. The documents are very important. I researched and found the xp tool for recovering deleted offline files. csccmd.exe by using the command
    csccmd.exe /extract /target:c:\docs /recurse
    Is There a tool like this for windows 7? is there a way to recover the lost files. Previous versions and system restore was not enabled and I have not been able to enable then.
